The Overall

This device converts old 35mm slides and film negatives into digital images without the need for a computer, allowing you to easily preserve your memories. Slides and negatives are placed into a tray that aligns each properly. Images can be immediately previewed on the built-in 2 1/2" TFT color display; the touch of a button converts the image in 3-5 seconds and stores it on the converter's 32 MB flash memory (which can store up to 56 pictures) as a JPEG file. It includes an SD memory card slot (4 GB microSD/miniSD/SD adapter card sold below will store up to 5,715 pictures). When the built-in memory becomes full, you can transfer images to a PC running Windows 7, Vista, or XP, or a Mac. You can also connect it directly to a TV to view the conversion process or your converted images. It has a 5MP CMOS sensor that provides 2592 x 1680 resolution, automatic exposure control, and color balance, resulting in clear digital images without loss of quality. It can use USB or AC for power. Includes software for the PC for users lacking photo editing on their computer that allows optional editing of converted digital photos. 6 3/4" H x 3 3/4" W x 3 3/4" D. (1 lb.)
